Description

Rob Stokoe, director at Jumeirah English Speaking Schools in Dubai, explores the ever-changing demands and requirements for leadership in education and leaders of learning: 'We now know so much more about how we learn, how our brains function and grow. Our collaborative networks are growing exponentially; educators are now globally connected. Furthermore there is a growing awareness and a deeper understanding emerging, a convergence of ideas, new and old, which are informing the educational debate. 'We have a job to do, to make informed, considered decisions, to be flexible and pro active, take risks in order to structure and define ways of learning and inquiry-based education which will best meet the needs of students who are the greatest resource humanity has. Our goal is simply to determine a meaningful and purposeful future for each and every student globally.'

"Rob Stokoe leads an acclaimed international school and his narrative is rooted in classrooms and what teachers and students achieve together. He packs this book with fresh thoughts around both leadership and learning, and his range of references is commanding. Prepare to have some of your educational orthodoxies challenged and to be taken on a journey into new ways of thinking about great schools." Roy Blatchford, Director, National Education Trust
